Fans of FBI: Most Wanted are in luck, as season 5 is being released this week in the US.
The original series, FBI, has gone from strength to strength - with Most Wanted focusing on the work of the Fugitive Task Force.
The force in question is made up of men and women whose job it is to track down criminals who have gone on the run and are listed on the Bureau’s infamous Most Wanted list.
Season 5 will see Dylan McDermott return as Remy Scott, while Roxy Sternberg and Keisha Castle-Hughes are also expected to come back as former NYPD detective Sheryll Barnes and hacker/intelligence analyst Hana, respectively.
Unfortunately, not every series regular is set to return.

FBI: Most Wanted season 5 cast - Who’s returning?
One of the most surprising points of contention about the cast for FBI: Most Wanted season 5 is the fact that Alexa Davalos, who played Special Agent Kristin Gaines, will not be returning for the new run.
Her story was not tied up to account for this noticeable departure, but Deadline reports that the exiting of the actress was "amicable".
Team leader Remy Scott (played by Dylan McDermott) is sure to be back, meaning the core group of confirmed cast members for the new season are:
- Dylan McDermott as Remy Scott
- Roxy Sternberg as second-in-command Sheryll Barnes
- Keisha Castle-Hughes as intelligence analyst Hana Gibson
- Edwin Hodge as sniper Ray Cannon
- Steven Williams as Ray Cannon Senior
- Shantel VanSanten as Special Agent Nina Chase
VanSanten is a newcomer to the season 5 cast, moving from FBI. The actress, who is also known for her roles in The Boys, For All Mankind and One Tree Hill, joined the franchise in FBI season 4 and appeared throughout season 5. Her character is described as a skilled agent.
FBI: Most Wanted season 5 plot - What will happen?
Not much is known at this point about the potential plots for season 5, but one story thread from season 4 will no doubt be explored – Remy’s new relationship with his nephew.
In the season 4 finale, Remy finally discovered that his brother Mikey had been killed by one of his own friends in Ft Lauderdale 25 years before during spring break – and he also learned that his brother’s girlfriend had been pregnant at the time of Mikey’s death.
Remy met Mikey’s now grown-up son Corey for the first time, and it’s likely we’ll see more of their relationship as season 5 progresses.
With the arrival of Nina Chase in the team also, there's no doubt that her story will be fleshed out in the new season of FBI: Most Wanted, and we'll see how she'll manage to incorporate with her new peers.
